Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home"
And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson"
And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone

If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
And it's killin' me to be so far away
Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together?
Or would you simply laugh at me and say

"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you'd come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again"

If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand?

Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began?

Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you've been so lonely
And you waited for the day that I return
And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned?

Would you say

"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again"

"Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again"

    The most beautiful song on the album IMO.

    It talks about a guy that cheated on her and she keeps remembering old promises, even that she loves him, she's trying to find the real love with someone elses, the love that he didn't give to her.
